kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c:370 Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1]

[henry801211]

Dear all,

While loading the compiled QorIQ-SDK-V1.2-20120614-yocto linux kernel module on p1021 (2C, 900M) based board running linux kernel uImage, rootfs fsl-image and device tree dtb, I got below exception.

I have tried to trace the bug in smp.c file.

The bug is on "BUG_ON( smp_processor_id() != boot_cpuid )"

And I printk the value of smp_processor_id() and boot_cpuid. 

smp_processor_id() = 0, boot_cpuid = -1

=> bootm 1000000 2000000 c00000

Can someone guide me how to resolve this issue? What could be going wrong here?

Thanks for your help,

Hello Lin Hsin Han,

It looks there is problem with Kernel configuration file which you are using to build Linux Kernel uImage.

Please build Linux Kernel based on the default Kernel configuration file, please refer to the section "2.2.4 Configure and rebuild Kernel" in the document documents/sdk_documentation/pdf/sdk-user-manual.pdf provided in the ISO QorIQ-SDK-V1.2-SOURCE-20120614-yocto.iso.

Thanks,

Yiping
